Abstract
Human interaction is the main requirement for the survival of society, yet recent technological developments such as artificial intelligence are causing a socialization crisis. The current study posits that, since socialization is at the core of tourism, socialization crisis threatens the traditional form of tourism as we know it, on one hand; innovative tourism can be a solution to confront the crisis, on the other hand. Specifically, the study is aimed at developing a strategic framework for human capital empowerment in tourism-centered entities. Using the symbolic interactionalism (SI) concept as a theoretical foundation, this research examines Stryker’s (1987) three axioms of SI to detect the distinctive attitudinal components (soft skills) most essential to improve social interactions.
